Thanks for sharing such a valuable Acne Care Recipes with us. Quite a few months back I have met with "The Acne". I can’t explain how much it irritated me especially at shaving time. At that time, on My Mother's advice, I have started using neem paste as a natural antiseptic. Nowadays i have gain a fully acne free face, although some marks are still left.

Thanks for your valuable tips. They seem to be quite useful. But I prefer neem. So, I like to share a home-made remedy based on neem:Make a paste out of fresh neem leaf juice, Turmeric powder and sandalwood powder. Apply it onto the affected area for half an hour. Then wash it off with water.

Thanks for the tips. Great home made remedies.If you are interested in Healthy Living, you should be interested in Ayurveda. It's not anything weird - it means "longevity". There's a pretty good book on choosing foods that are best for your unique physical makeup. It's called "Foods Heal".

We are doing a wellness workshop and Dr. Bhaswati Bhattacharya, is delivering a lecture on "A Practical Guide to Achieving Longevity Using Ayurveda". For more information please visit workshoponwellness (dot) org or call 732 738 4457

After reading a lot of comments from other readers, a lot of them said they like to use Neem. As do I. I found this great product made my Nature's Formulary. It's called Neem & Tulsi Soap. I work in the fast food industry so I try to keep my skin very clean and oil free. This product works wonders!
